Did he ever find the Hunter Biden evidence that was "lost in the mail"? [Reply]
Except that you have no right to this "principle" when it comes to using someone else's means of conveying speech. You're not entitled to use someone else's property for your own use. [Reply]

Shit, I completely agree with something TJ posted.

While I think Trump, and anyone who was at that rally, should have known what could happen when a bunch of low EQ conspiracy theorists all get together in a mob, I don't think Trump, and some of the people who attended that rally, believed the mob would go and do what they did at the Capitol.

Just like your favorite Progressives had no right to block constituents from their Twitter accounts?
Trump was successfully sued for the same thing.
Maybe you can figure out the difference between government officials blocking people and the twitter itself doing it for violating their rules. [Reply]
I fully understand the TOS issue. The problem, as someone else pointed out, is consistency of enforcement.
Let's take a bar that has terms of entry that state "no baseball caps".
If they routinely deny entry for some wearing caps, and not for others, that is a problem.
The gay cake example isnt exactly apples to oranges, as the social media censoring has come down to political party beliefs (and the gay cake issue was, if I recall properly, a religious belief issue - not saying I agree with that, just stating).
So essentially, in the cake scenario, you would have a situation where the cake store owner is a member of one political party, and wont bake cakes for any member of the opposite party.
This is what it has devolved to. People shout TOS, TOS......but in reality, it's the owners of these social media platforms injecting their own political beliefs into who gets to belong and who doesnt, hiding the prejudice (if you will) behind TOS. [Reply]

Facebook isn't even the problem. The problem is people who are too dumb to disregard obvious bullshit. I once worked with a fossil who believed this pic was legitimate:

Really? You don't say?
This must be a new revelation on your part.... [Reply]

agreed.
And I think people are trying to police that, and you cant undumb someone that way. [Reply]

In addition to staking out your anti-free speech position, my earlier response to Lex applies to you too.

Chiefsplanet is very, very loose in terms of what can be said here without being banned but if you attempt to post on other forums like we do on CP, we'd all be banned immediately.
Holy shit, the old Niners board that was owned by the team? About 95% of the posters here would get the boot. [Reply]
